UK ladies - charge for ultrasound pictures?

[singers_love]

My hospital charges £2.00 per photo, it told me on the scan letter... so perhaps if it doesnt mention it on the letter, its free??

Mine were £2 in Sheffield and £3 in Staffordshire (I changed care at 24 weeks) x

Mine charge £5 per picture which I think is a bit much really but we'll still get one for each of the relatives, works out about £40 but it's the first one (scan and baby) and really special so worth it.

Our hospital charge £5 per picture and you can only have a maximum of 4 pictures

I didn't think about there being a maximum number, maybe us having 8 pictures is out then lol.

if we have to pay for them then I can't see that they should be giving a maximum

I'm surprised everyone's seem to be so low apart from in Oxfordshire!! Grrr! £10 seems a lot...i'll be furious if we only get 1 picture!!

£10 is a shocking price, but the know they can get away with it because people will want pictures so will pay it. It's a huge amount though and sneaky too as they are cashing in on people who they know will pay.

At Kingston hospital I seem to remember it was £3 for 2 pictures - and you didn't have the choice of getting any more or any less than that.

Payment was done at a sort of stamp machine, so you def had to have change.

Also worth mentioning that although we only had our yellow stamp for 2 pics, we actually got given four - without even asking.

Totally depends on the hospital and the technician doing the scan as to what you get!

Its ridiculous really. I think you should at least get 1 pic for free. We have to pay the £5 per pic up front in reception as well and then take the receipt to the scan with us. I think im going to be scanning the pics i buy and then emailing them on to friends n family (Well, I'll buy 3 of them anyway)

OP - how did your scan go? xx

£2 at mine.

Well, had my scan this afternoon and it went really well! Baby was bouncing and waving at us The sign on the wall said pictures were £5 for 1 or £10 for 3, but in the end they never asked us for anything, not even a donation, so not sure what that was about!! They dated me earlier in the pregnancy than my period dating did (due date is now 16th April not 10th), but I don't mind, I'm just relieved everything looks ok with bubs!! I need to update my tickers at some point, though

Thanks for all your replies, guys - knowing to take a few pounds extra in cash meant we didn't stress when we saw the sign, which we would have done otherwise!

P.S. This is bubs...
